When?

Class #1: Your Inner Foundation

Thursday, January 16, 2025, 6:30PM – 8:30PM US Mountain Time

Part of building strength and resiliency in your spiritual practice is intimately understanding yourself and what you bring to the table at any given time. Each of us has the capacity to receive psychic and intuitive messages, particularly when paired with exercises that can assist you in honing those abilities. Of equal importance is the ability to recognize and set down excess and unhelpful energy and discern where it is coming from, whether that be from within us or from external sources. In Class #1, we will explore our Inner Foundation through exercises that will help us explore our psychic senses, spiritual discernment, and introduce us to the concept of mindrooms and soul parts.

Homework: Pair up! You’ll be assigned a short exercise to do with one of your classmates.

Class #2: External Resources

Thursday, January 23, 2024, 6:30PM – 8:30PM US Mountain Time

Although we each have a vast landscape of internal power, we don’t have to go it alone. In Class #2, we will explore the external resources we each have available. We’ll discuss the concepts of our highest consciousness, guides, gods, ancestors and more. We will go over ways to build relationships with beings outside ourselves and work with mindroom meditations to connect with our highest consciousness and highest spiritual guides.

Homework: Pair up! You’ll be assigned a short exercise to do with one of your classmates.

Break Week (no class 1/30) – You will be offered a week from class to let what we’ve covered integrate. Optional homework will be offered.

Class #3: Conjuration and Spellcasting

Thursday, February 6, 2025, 6:30PM – 8:30PM US Mountain Time

Throughout history, magical practices have been linked with resilience, resistance, and creating change in the face of challenges. While our modern needs look different than that of our ancestors, many old practices have roots in improving and ensuring health, financial stability, matters of the heart, and care for the home and family. In Class #3 we will explore the anatomy of spells and basics of conjuration and casting as well as cultural considerations that should be considered as you build your own magical practice. Lastly, you will be offered suggestions for exploring the magical traditions most closely associated with your own lineages.

Class #4: Building Your Practice

Thursday, February 13, 2024, 6:30PM – 8:30PM US Mountain Time

Class #4 will be dedicated to helping you craft a plan for your spiritual practice. We will review what we have covered and explore ways you can build on what you have learned. We will discuss ways to manage and strengthen your gifts, from daily rituals to intentional practice. We’ll explore the concept of spiritual hygiene and how to bring spellcasting and conjuration into the day-to-day aspects of your life. Students will have the opportunity to outline a one-to-three month set of practice goals based on your individual interests and strengths.
